County welcomes traveling Vietnam wall

Marion County Veterans Services hosted a four-day event from May 25 to 28 to honor fallen, missing, and imprisoned U.S. service members at Ocala/Marion County Veterans Memorial Park in observation of Memorial Day. Each day, the public had the opportunity to appreciate different military traditions and ceremonies. Veterans Memorial Park featured static displays, which include military vehicles and aircraft. Veterans Services also coordinated a flyover on Memorial Day.

U.S. Rep. Ted Yoho, R-3rd District, said on Facebook that he had the honor of speaking at the ceremony for the Vietnam Memorial Traveling Wall. It was an emotional and moving tribute and I was humbled to be able to spend time with fellow patriots. I encourage everyone to take some time to see this incredibly important tribute this Memorial Day.
